We were looking for a quiet place to relax for a few days, but what we got was so much more. The cottage is one of the most thoughtfully designed spaces I have ever stayed in, and probably one of the most aesthetically designed places available for rent. There was just a sheet of tall glass that separated us from the spectacular view outside of tall trees and a gorgeous valley around it. From the cozy fireplace with recliners, a fully functional kitchen, an elegant drink table, a modern bathroom, and a sprawling living space made it rather hard for us to leave it and go out. But when we did, the surrounding area along the Mississippi was simply spectacular. We strongly recommend this place and will surely return as soon as possible.
